Geocache Description:


Note: The cache is not located at these coordinates, but they are close, even walkable.

This is my 2nd hide. It requires just some basic schedule reading to get the true coordinates. ( I'm sorry, I like the puzzles for a little extra zing.)One other thing-it is not a typical hiding place or method. Extra effort required

You will need the Babylon schedule attached, or, if we're still on the November 12, 2018 schedule, you can go online. Substitute the last number (minute) of the corresponding arrival time. I.E. If the train arrives 3:57, use the 7. Substitute into the coordinates below.

N 40° {A} {B}. {C} {D} {C}' W 73° {E} {F}.{G} {H} {I} '

This is the format. N 40° ##.###' W 73° ##.###'

This is a street location and a park and grab on the street side of the fence.

B.Y.O.P. and Good Luck! Under recommendation from my resident genius, I've bumped the difficulty level to 2, since it's not situated in a "normal" fashion. I also made the hint a bit more telling.

A-D is the 5:17 am from Babylon to Penn Station.

A=Woodside

B=Bellmore

C=Merrick

D=Seaford

E-I is the 1:35 am from Babylon to Penn Station.
